In a thrilling encounter, Dabang Delhi K.C. outclassed Bengal Warriorz with a decisive 45-34 victory on Tuesday night, propelling them to the summit of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 standings. Ashu Malik emerged as the star performer with an impressive 16 points, while Ajinkya Pawar provided vital support, marking the team's fourth consecutive win at the Vishwanadh Sport Club in Vizag.

Neeraj Narwal, surprisingly leading the charge for Dabang Delhi, kicked off with a multi-point raid that sidelined Parteek and Mayur Kadam, establishing an early advantage. However, Bengal's Dhaakad Devank Dalal countered by dismissing Surjeet Singh twice, keeping the scores tight at 10-9 before the first Time-Out.

A pivotal moment came when Ajinkya Pawar shifted from raider to defender, executing a Super Tackle on the Warriorz skipper and facilitating the return of Fazel Atrachali, who swiftly claimed his first point.

Ajinkya's defensive prowess further solidified the victory as Delhi inflicted a second All Out, stretching the margin to 15 points, eventually sealing the match at 45-34 courtesy of Ashu Malik's spectacular Do-or-Die raid.
